Product Overview

The Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance extends the reach of the Qualys Cloud Platform's integrated suite of security and compliance SaaS applications into the internal networks of both Amazon VPC and EC2-Classic. The virtual scanner appliance brings the highly-automated Qualys Vulnerability Management, Policy Compliance, and Web Application Scanning services deep into the Amazon infrastructure so that your VPC and EC2 Instances can be assessed at close range from trusted devices under your control and protected by your EC2/VPC Security Groups. Customers configure and operate all of the scanner's security services from their Qualys (SaaS) account via a secure web interface or API. Each instance of the Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance must be associated with a valid Qualys (SaaS) subscription in order to function. It is available for use by licensed Qualys customers and trial users. IMPORTANT NOTE: For pre-authorized vulnerability scanning with Amazon API-connected workflows and Instance ID-based asset tracking and targeting, you should instead deploy the "Pre-authorized Scanning" virtual scanner AMI, also available in AWS Marketplace. NOTE: At this time, this product instance must be launched using the "Launch with EC2 Console" option. Once you click the "Continue" button and arrive at the "Launch with EC2 Console" tab, follow the "Installation Instructions" near the bottom of the page.
